Texas Route 66 - Shamrock

SHAMROCK, TEXAS. The Art Deco Conoco Tower station first appeared on Route 66 in 1936, wonderfully constructed using brick with green and gold glazed tile accents, and with wooden towers covered with stucco. Over the years, it has housed a filling station, a restaurant, a ballroom, and a Greyhound bus station. It now serves Shamrock's Chamber of Commerce as a tourist office.
